You are describing life. Heard immunity works. (See Sweden.)

In life it is every man for himself. No one owes you a thing. We are not all in this together. Those who have lost their jobs or their businesses have sacrificed more than most. (And do not give me the crack about lives lost. One life is too many, but let's face it if you are relatively young and in decent health it is almost statistically impossible to die from Chinese coronavirus.) Those who have government jobs haven't sacrificed one bit.

In life the strong (whether judged by health, smartness, drive, ambition) do succeed at a higher level.

No one ever said there's a benefit to thinning the herd. That's hyperbole I guess.
